He offered me 85 USD of PayPal funds. He refused to post on the trade itself. When asked if he has rep he said he does and pointed to his profile page where he indeed does have tons of +rep but none for actual monetary transactions. The first alarm sign was that he had 18 pages of rep on a completely private profile. Then I noticed how all of his games are from the latest Humble Bundle which he could've purchased for a negligible sum and partially redeemed in order not to look suspicious. When that was mentioned he immediately disappeared. Chat transcript: Never tell your password to anyone. Kaossdemon: Hey Kaossdemon: How can I help you? TickleElmo: hey TickleElmo: i wanted to offer on ur rag Kaossdemon: Which should be done on the post itself TickleElmo: well i wanted to tell u it TickleElmo: 85 dollars via paypal Kaossdemon: Do you have rep?

You bought the latest Humble Bundle for a price not worth mentioning TickleElmo: see ya later Kaossdemon: And then redeemed only a part of it not to look suspicious TickleElmo is now Offline.

He's had legitimate evidence against him since Thursday and is actively paypal scamming the outpost.
Probably because I was out-of-town in the mountains and couldn't get to the reports. Am marking him now, I sincerely apologize for the wait.
